Yeah that's what I've been doing for like ever since I think August or whenever this windows 10 shit started. At first it was all passive and friendly like Yuno when she's not crazy...
But then like for the past two weeks, I'd come back to my PC to find that it's AUTOMATICALLY DOWNLOADING IT, and the popups get bigger and more aggressive.
THEN like the past few days, it started automatically installing (I was able to stop it at the download phase the first two times), and today, I was afk for too long and it already finished downloading and SAID SOMETHING LIKE: "YOU HAVE TO INSTALL IT WITHIN 4 DAYS. SET A DATE. YOU CANNOT CHANGE THIS DATE." <-- full on psycho Yuno.
And I've made sure to set my Windows Update settings to "Check for updates but don't ever install them". <-- I've had that setting for years, and FOR THE NORMAL UPDATES they never install without me manually updating.
But ofc, Windows 10 is like some kind of mandate by Microsoft to control all our computers because they apparently need more revenue so Bill Gates can buy up Japan and take over anime I think. I think Windows 10 comes with Ads (AIDs?) and also it probably has some kind of NSA/Google/extraterrestrial-illuminati-alien contract where they record your non-internet activity and send it whenever ur online -- as people have already posted here about "privacy concerns."
No, I don't need ads ON MY OWN FUCKING OS. No I don't want to install Windows 10. No you shouldn't be able to force me to upgrade TO A WHOLE NEW OS.

I'm on 7 because 8 is just imho turning your PC into a large phone. They don't even have programs anymore. They're all "apps" and it's just really stupidly hard to navigate through the start menu.

http://www.wilderssecurity.com/threads/list-of-windows-7-telemetry-updates-to-avoid.379151/
according to a post from Holysmoke on that site:
Spoiler Alert! Click to show or hide
a long time member at dslreports says the following:
www.msdn.com
msdn.com
www.msn.com
msn.com
go.microsoft.com
msdn.microsoft.com
office.microsoft.com
microsoftupdate.microsoft.com
wustats.microsoft.com
support.microsoft.com
www.microsoft.com
microsoft.com
update.microsoft.com
download.microsoft.com
microsoftupdate.com
windowsupdate.com
windowsupdate.microsoft.com
You can't block above names with hosts file. They all were hardcoded in this DLL:
%WINDIR%\system32\dnsapi.dll
more terror about MS from long time poster at dslreports:
All text typed on the keyboard is stored in temporary files, and sent (once per 30 mins) to:
oca.telemetry.microsoft.com.nsatc.net
pre.footprintpredict.com
reports.wes.df.telemetry.microsoft.com
Telemetry is sent once per 5 minutes, to:
vortex.data.microsoft.com
vortex-win.data.microsoft.com
telecommand.telemetry.microsoft.com
telecommand.telemetry.microsoft.com.nsatc.net
oca.telemetry.microsoft.com
oca.telemetry.microsoft.com.nsatc.net
sqm.telemetry.microsoft.com
sqm.telemetry.microsoft.com.nsatc.net
Typing the name of any popular movie into your local file search starts a telemetry process that indexes all media files on your computer and transmits them to:
df.telemetry.microsoft.com
reports.wes.df.telemetry.microsoft.com
cs1.wpc.v0cdn.net
vortex-sandbox.data.microsoft.com
pre.footprintpredict.com
When a webcam is first enabled, ~35mb of data gets immediately transmitted to:
oca.telemetry.microsoft.com
oca.telemetry.microsoft.com.nsatc.net
vortex-sandbox.data.microsoft.com
i1.services.social.microsoft.com
i1.services.social.microsoft.com.nsatc.net
Everything that is said into an enabled microphone is immediately transmitted to:
oca.telemetry.microsoft.com
oca.telemetry.microsoft.com.nsatc.net
vortex-sandbox.data.microsoft.com
pre.footprintpredict.com
i1.services.social.microsoft.com
i1.services.social.microsoft.com.nsatc.net
telemetry.appex.bing.net
telemetry.urs.microsoft.com
cs1.wpc.v0cdn.net
statsfe1.ws.microsoft.com
While the inital reflex may be to block all of the above servers via HOSTS, it turns out this won't work: Microsoft has taken the care to hardcode certain IPs, meaning that there is no DNS lookup and no HOSTS consultation. However, if the above servers are blocked via HOSTS, Windows will pretend to be crippled by continuously throwing errors, while still maintaining data collection in the background. Other than an increase in errors, HOSTS blocking did not affect the volume, frequency, or rate of data being transmitted.

I've had win 10 on one of my laptops for a couple months now. had a few issues with video streaming, but not too much.
just yesterday turned it on, and it does a UN-notified update which kills my taskbar, nothing works on it anymore (no start menu/ pins dont work) everything shows but nothing.
task manager shows 98% cpu usage but all tasks show 0% used. apparently it has 0 out of 3 gigs of ram. and network will not connect.
I tried restoring a backup from a month ago but as soon as its turned back on it installs those updates again.
So i am going to officially upgrade back to Win 7 Ultimate from Win 10 OEM
sent from my Kubuntu Laptop

i upgraded and now I've switched back. (my laptop and my desktop.)
I will wait till it is more developed before returning, I just don't like it, I find it to be bulky. I am sticking with windows 7 for now.

Still sticking to 7. Hell, XP is even better still. 8 and higher is mobile friendly, but I'll pass on using them for desktops.
This is your field of expertise, so I'll ask why. I have my own non-expert opinion, but seeking an expert one never hurt anyone.

Why 7 is better or why are the others more mobile friendly?
